Mid-West Membrane Projects: Lessons Learned from Pilot Study and Full-Scale Start-Ups

Learn about some common and not so common trials and tribulations of conducting RO/NF pilot studies and starting up full-scale RO/NF water treatment plants. The RO/NF process and the science behind it doesn’t change, but every project is unique in design as far as size, feed water source, pretreatment, piping arrangement, instrumentation, etc. which can mean unique problems and roadblocks. The phrases “that’s a new one” or “I’ve never seen that before” can mean an issue is headache-inducing or a learning experience, but by experience is known to often be both.
